One of the sculptures that may live in Peace Park:

Flower Chucker

This fellow is my anti-warrior, another alter ego, the guy who stands naked in the world, throwing flowers instead of spears.  This guy has the courage I wish I had.  I wish we all had.  Beyond fear, beyond insecurity and timidity, there is a human condition that we aspire to, but rarely achieve, wherein we will stand up boldly, without thought to our own survival, and speak the truth.

He is carved of oolitic limestone, living rock, and his hair is represented as leaves.  He is about 5 ft tall, and is holding flowers of colored glass fused onto copper stems.
